Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto admits 2026 failure, plans external manager hire for 2027
The Seattle Mariners finished 2026 with a 76-86 record, a sharp decline from their 2025 near-World Series run. GM Jerry Dipoto has taken full responsibility for the collapse, citing a breakdown in accountability and culture. The organization is seeking an external manager for 2027 to introduce fresh ideas, while retaining pitching coaches despite a poor late-season performance.
